    hello

    i have just purchased a Canon HV20 mini HDV camcorder and i am having problems capturing.

    I have connected it to my computer through a firewire cable and am using Premiere as my edit program.

    My computer and or Premiere cannot detect the camera...is there something else i should be doing?

    I look forward to any suggestions...

    Many Thanks

    Nicky

    If you're capturing HDV, you must have Service Pack 2 installed. Not necessary for DV.

    Adobe Premiere will not work with HDV files but Adobe Premiere Pro will.

    Try HDVSplit.

    What version of Premiere? Only CS3 has native HDV project mode. Pro2 can capture but you need to exercise Google.

    For older versions you will find HDVsplit or even CapDVHS are easier to use.
